Hey Wayne!

> You are nuts.

You just noticed now?!?!?!

If the truth be told my motivation in this case was to outdo the Windows geeks
that are having trouble vitualizing the latest ttylinux release. Before last
week I never bothered with virtualization whatsoever. However I ran into a
glitch with networking it and just cracked that nut yesterday by playing around
with UML and then porting the idea to qemu-kvm.  Worked like a charm so now
I'll probably go back to the usual methods and leave virtualization for those
running lame OS's as they require virtualizing given the sad OS they are stuck
running.  <BFEG>

I got the good stuff.

I think it is behind you and you haven't noticed yet.  Hang out with Windows
users for awhile and you will see the light.

> Yeah but you know I got real good at cleaning them.

I got really good at making kernels and initrd's to make them bootable on
machines that had no right to be booting CD's in the first place.  I got bored
with it fast.  Too much like work but the challenge had to be met.

Bingo!  Then once the good stuff is extracted from the iso no need for the iso
anymore.  Mostly overbloat no?

Agreed.

slackware-current claims linux-2.6.32.5.  gcc-4.4.3 too.  Looking good!

I am upgrading a few things and decided to drop busybox in favour of the usual
suspects.  Works much better and can still target a regular ttylinux with
busybox.  I am liking it more and more.

Damn small linux?

Life is good,
Maurice
